Russia hopes UN experts will visit all alleged chemical attack sites in Syria - top diplomat

MOSCOW. Sept 24 (Interfax) - Moscow is hopeful that upon their return to Syria, the United Nations' experts will visit more sites where chemical weapons were allegedly used, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.

"We hope that they will go to the places that they had no time to inspect during their previous visits for some reasons," he told reporters on Tuesday.

"In any case, [UN expert mission head Ake] Sellstrom and the UN Secretariat have reiterated more than once that this is how it will be done," the diplomat said.
